Embracing learning opportunities and challenges
Lisa was inspired to join the insurance industry based on its learning opportunities and challenges.
“We are fortunate to work in an industry that offers a career path that points in every direction: finance, marketing, operations, underwriting, claims, business development, risk management,” says Lisa. “It is an industry that offers progression and possibilities, and presents the opportunity to support my analytical skills while combining negotiating capabilities and building and sustaining strong relationships.”
Making a worthwhile contribution through her work
Lisa feels rewarded that her work makes a worthwhile contribution and that it challenges her to push boundaries and it teaches her to embrace her limitations. Lisa says she appreciates that her work affords her the opportunity to empower others by serving as a coach and mentor.
The industry has also nurtured her philanthropic nature, providing opportunities to volunteer with such organizations as the United Way, SickKids, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, and her local food bank.
